Reflexology works on the basis that there are areas in the hands and feet associated with various glands, organs and regions of the body. It is deeply relaxing and can prompt the body to heal itself. Reflexology is very helpful in alleviating stress-related ailments as well as promoting a sense of calm and well-being. A treatment uses pressure on specific areas of the feet to stimulate healing in the corresponding part of the body. This releases areas of tension and helps energy to flow more freely throughout your body.
